An Unexpected Small Biodiversity Oasis of Sea Slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) in the Largest Petrochemical Hub of Italy (Central Mediterranean)

Oceans
The Magnisi peninsula is a small portion of land located near the largest Italian petrol-chemical pole of Augusta–Priolo–Melilli (40 km2), which, since the 1950s, devastated the local environment and landscape and unloaded directly into the sea an ...

Prey species and abundance affect growth and photosynthetic performance of the polyphagous sea slug Elysia crispata

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Some sacoglossan sea slugs steal functional macroalgal chloroplasts (kleptoplasts). In this study, we investigated the effects of algal prey species and abundance on the growth and photosynthetic capacity of the tropical polyphagous sea slug Elysia ...

Prevalence and Photobiology of Photosynthetic Dinoflagellate Endosymbionts in the Nudibranch Berghia stephanieae

Animals, 2021
Berghia stephanieae is a stenophagous sea slug that preys upon glass anemones, such as Exaiptasia diaphana. Glass anemones host photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbionts that sea slugs ingest when consuming E. diaphana. However, the prevalence of these

Sea Slug Mucus Production Is Supported by Photosynthesis of Stolen Chloroplasts

Biology, 2022
A handful of sea slugs of the order Sacoglossa are able to steal chloroplasts—kleptoplasts—from their algal food sources and maintain them functionally for periods ranging from several weeks to a few months.
